    Bardet to Nairo: "Allez vous wheelsucker!"
    In fairness to Quintana, he has Landa coming up from behind so he has an excuse not to ride.

    Roglic must be sitting at home thinking 'I'm so glad we have such a strong mountain team'.

    Reichenbach upsetting Monsieur Bardet.
    Maybe he's not heard about his descending? :)

    Is Reichenbach the worse descender in the peloton? He was atrocious on THAT Giro stage last year. Like a middle aged Dutchman encountering a proper descent for the first time,* all top of the hoods squeaky bum breaking.

    Bardet has engaged full on grumpy teenager mode.

    Quintana still virtual top 10, so motivated to keep 2 min ahead of Yellow group.

    :)
    Reichenbach has no incentive to take a turn at the front - all he might then be doing is help Quintana move up in the GC in front of his leader Pinot.

    Movistar tactics on point again today
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    So much happening behind the stage leaders, I keep forgetting Yates is up front.

    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.
